The Trust monopolies, which are now
absorbing so much of the business of the
country, to the detriment of the cOmpe-
tition, are hailed with delight by the So
cialists as cersain to facilitate the time
when private control will have to give
way to public control along the whole
line" Referring to the danger TO be ap.
pretended from these rapidly increasing
trusts, the New York Times seys: "Un.
doubleday the multiplication of these com.
binations, by which industries and certain
branches of business are monopolized ana
competition is destroyed, not only disturbs
the minds of thoughtful citizens who are
loyal to our institutions, but also raise the
hope of the unbalanced who are looking
for social revolution. The attack upon
these monopolies through the Legislatures
and courts has been too long delayed"

His nerves were week-a clergyman, sad,
Whom every sound would annoy;
He came for rest, but 1t drove him mad
The shrieks of the whistling buoy.
"The mountain air Is better for me,

He is settled now, away from sea,
Rut he married whistling girl-Ltte.

"Ah me-" sighed Potts, "I'm tired of living,
The world is hollow, ambitions vain"
"Come now!" said his chum, 81 know the

It's all your liver-that's very plain.
You need not suffer, for help is easy;
Pierce's Pellets 60 right to the place.
"A friend to the bilious well might call
them
There's nothing better they'll suit your
case"
Potts ceased his signing and bought the
"Pellets."
No more he mourneth his hapless lot!
His face is cheerful, his heart is lightsome,
His melancholy is quite forgot!

4 RuasIan Noble J Three Bobbins.

Al piece Of Interesting information comes
from q trustworthy source. It win be re-
membered that the submission Of the,
Merv TurcOmans was gained by help Of
the famous Moscow merchant, Kouschine,
who sent his so called trading caravan
into Merv IN charge Of Alikhanof and
other officers in disguise. For the great
services then rendered, siis pioneer of
Russian conquests in Central Asia has
BEEN rewarded with patent Of hereditary
mobility. His firm Is well known for its
Manufacture of cheap and highly cOlored
eDtton prinIs for the Asiatic market, and
die arms Now granted to him and his de-
scendants display three bobbins, indicating
the means Of his elevation to rank and
fortune.
Precisely the same caravan tricks, am
assured, are now tried In Afghan Turkes-
tan, and by exactly the same persons.
This Moscow house Is full Of enterprise,
and being backed up by the government,
with privileges over the Transcaspian
railway and elsewhere, Of course sticks at
nothing. Last February its pOlitico COM

MONDAY. JULY 4, 1887,
watching : Chiness Susslsr

In q quiet cross town street d little side
walk audience was gathered the other
morning watching Chinese juggler per-
form some extremely deft feats IN the nm
compromising publicity Of the open air.
The jnggler was gray old chap With .
foxy face and a cunning eye. He had .
few hairs on his upper lip and 3 few on
his chin that bristled out Ike the whiskers
Of cat. He wore his native dress, or
such approach to It a. we are accustomed
to see here, and his only apparatus was
contained In little hand sachel made ont
Of woven reed. His tricks were simple,
consisting mainly Of feats Of palming, at
which he was wonderfully expert. He
jnegIed with balls and knives and forks
very skfIlfully indeed, and had pack Of
cards which he tossed In the air, causing
them TO vanish and reappear apparently
Ct WIN.
The most thrilling Of his feats consisted
In driving q threaded darning needle
through his arm, pulling IL out on the
side opposite its entrance without draw
ing 8 drop Of blood This performance
was the climax Of his show, and when It
was done another Chinaman went around
and gathered In contributions The crowd
settled up. evidently expecting other feats
to follow. When the last copper had
been extracted the pile was handed TO the
juggler, who held it in his hand, for all tn
see that it was there, and then put his
hand to his mouth. When he opened the
hand again ii was empty, and SO was the
mouth, which he held gaping like cavern
for inspection. Thereupon he bowed and
Y stepped on 30 swiftly that he might al
most be said to have vanished. ALFRED

Financial Notes.

It is reported that the Government is
about to build money vault In WASH,
inpton that will store away l00, 00O, wv
of silver dollars or more. and that the
policy of coming silver aud issuing Ger
tificates against it for circulation is to be
perpstuated. The Government, IN tact,
cannot do otherwise until ordered oy
Congress. With silver certificates In
circulation based on coin, and Others
based ON bullion, it looks as though the
silver battle had been tough. and won,
and that the white metal was indeed
with US to stay.
The London Economist states that the
Anplo-Indisn banks in 1856 Jared very
badly. Two out of five failed to earn
any dividend, while the net profits oil
the five. taken together, fell away over
fIOO. 900. or more than 40 per cent. The
total earnings were the smallest recorded
for several years. Right on the heels OF
this. comes an official statement from
the National Bank of India, that the
profits of that institution last year were
f76. .6S3. and that its reserve fund was
increased in the same time from t6O,0OO
to $4,000. Both statements are no
doubt correct.
Since the beginning of the fiscal year,
up to May lst, the increased income OF
the Government from taxes and reven'
ues, as compared with last year, was, in
round numbers, S27,0OO.OOO; the in
crease in the expenditures way little
less than S24, 100000. OF the in.
creased income, $40, 900. 900 came
from customs, and OF the in
creased expenditures, $4,000, 900 were
s'ordinary," and $l2. 900, 900 in pensions.
The oldest bank in America is the
Bank of North America at Philadelphia.
1t was founded by Robert Morris, under
the advice of Alexander Hamilton, in
1882, with a capital of S400, 900; has
had seven Presidents and seven Cash
i,rs; has not been required to Introduce
the word National into its title be-
cause of the financial aid it rendered our
Government during the war. The
Farmers and Mechanics Bank of Phila.
delphia keeps the records of the debt Of
the municipality of Philadelphia, also OF
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
